Re: 2012 MLB Thread

Padres are riding a big ol 4 game winning streak. With a season record of 56-70, only 14 games out of first place, we still have a chance to win the division; NOT!

To be able to compete in the NL West next season they will need some strong pitching! Being that the Padres are a small market team, they mostly rely on their minor league players to emerge. Hopefully that will happen??

Re: 2012 MLB Thread

I wish for you for the Pads to up their game, man. Being a Cincie fan I know what it's like to be continually disappointed season after season. The Reds are doing well this year and did well last year, but for a long time they were straight up abysmal.

Re: 2012 MLB Thread

Woo-to-tha-mothahfuckin'-hoo!!! It's been several days since I've checked the NL standings and I'm pleased to see that Cincie has taken back not only the NL central lead, but the NL lead in general. Keep it up, fellas! October's right around the corner!

Re: 2012 MLB Thread

the halos are surging again won 8 of the last nine to pull within 2.5 games of the second wildcard spot little nervous about jarod weaver and his sore shoulder but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. They're hot hot hot right now 15-3 in the last 18 and they swept 3 of the last 4 series with a 3-2 win over detroit today.

Homer Bailey threw a no-hitter last night, striking out 10 batters all the while. Even though the Reds had locked up a spot in the playoffs prior to last nights game. Baileys no-no should give him confidence headed into the post season. After a big let down last season, as their middle relievers couldn't hold late game leads. The team has since fixed that flaw this year, and are gonna be a team to be reckoned with.

( side note) I was looking at Bailey's career record over the last few yrs and noticed the guy only gets better as the season progresses, and especially in Sept/Oct, when it really counts.

Re: 2012 MLB Thread

Eh, it's just as well. I was just telling Undie earlier that as much as I'd like Cincie to take the whole thing this year, even moreso I DON'T want them to win the WS this year because having no cable, I would miss it AGAIN -- just like I did when they won in '90, while I was in basic training. You think I held it against them THAT time...if they'd done it again this year I'd have taken it as a sign and sworn off them forever.
